| Islam, God and the Shining Light of Love |
|
"God is love," the New Testament
teaches, and Muslim theologians would respond, "But of course." The
problem is that we are not God. As Jesus said, "Why callest thou me good?
There is none good but one, that is, God " (Mark 10:18). There is no
authentic love but one, that is, God. This is tawhid, the assertion of divine
unity that is the foundation of Islamic thought.
Religious discussions of love sometimes address how it descends from its divine
status and intermingles with human affairs. In any case, everyone recognizes its
attractive power, even if they disagree as to what it is and where it comes
from. Rumi mentions the two extremes of disagreement in the verse,
For the elect, love is a tremendous eternal light,
for the common people, love is form and appetite. (Divan 18197)
"The elect and the common people" is an expression used in all
branches of Islamic learning to distinguish between the experts and the
uninformed. For Rumi, the experts are the prophets and saints.

| Superiority of Knowledge Over Devotions |
|

The following is excerpted from the book
"Reliance of the Traveler." The Classic Manual of Islamic Law 'Umdat
al-Salik by Ahmed ibn Naqib al-Misri (d769/1368) English translation by Nuh Ha
Mim Keller.
a2.1 (Nawawi:) Allah Most High says:
(1) "Say, 'Are those who know and those who do not know equal?' "
(Koran 39:9).
(2) "Only the knowledgeable of His slaves fear Allah" (Koran 35:28).
(3) "Allah raises those of you who believe and those who have been given
knowledge whole degrees" (Koran 58:11).
a2.2 The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:
(1) "Whoever Allah wishes well, He gives knowledge of religion."
(2) The superiority of the learned Muslim over the devotee is as my superiority
over the least of you." Then the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him
peace) said, "Allah and His angels, the inhabitants of the heavens and the
earth, the very ant in its anthill and the fish bless those who teach people
what is good."
(3) "When a human being dies his work comes to an end except for three
things: ongoing charity, knowledge benefitted from, or a pious son who prays for
him."
(4) "A single learned Muslim is harder on the Devil than a thousand
worshippers."
